This quick and easy avocado toast is topped with soft poached egg. Eggs are the perfect breakfast or lunch when you’re in a hurry. Avocado is the star of this popular and dare I say many people are still obsessed with this trendy breakfast snack.
Avocados are a versatile fruit for slicing, mashing, or stuffing. The creamy and buttery texture makes every meal better. Luxurious taste with many health benefits. Healthy due to the content of mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids, plus antioxidants such as beta-carotene. There are only two essential ingredients to good avocado toast: toasted or toasted bread and sliced or mashed avocados. From here you can make it simple with a few spices or get creative with different toppings.
here are some additional ideas for avocado toast
- simple version, but still tasty: Classically mash avocado, drizzle with good olive oil and serve with fresh parsley
- or the Caprese toast: again mash avocado, topped with halved cocktail tomatoes and baby mozzarella. Fresh basil and some balsamic vinegar. Complete!
- then we have the Mexican version: again mash avocado and topped with pico de gallo.
- you can also slice the avocados and serve them on a bagel or whole wheat bread topped with cream cheese. A mixture of sesame and poppy seeds goes well with it.
- Avocado toast with egg, it doesn’t matter which egg you want to use, whether it’s fluffy scrambled eggs, fried eggs or avocado toast with poached eggs
Another tip on how avocados keep their green color
Once the avocados have been cut, the air will turn the cut surface brown due to oxidation. You can slow down the browning reaction a little by putting some lemon juice or olive oil on the cut surface. One creates a chemical barrier and the other creates a physical barrier to slow down the oxidation process. Unfortunately, this cannot be completely stopped, but a sliced avocado rarely remains on a delicious avocado toast with poached egg. 😉

- Stir the water vigorously with a wooden spoon to form a vortex. Crack an egg into the water in this vortex. (This is easier if you break the egg into a small bowl beforehand and let it slide into the water). As you rotate, the egg white wraps itself around the yolk.

- Place the poached egg on the toast and season with some chilli flakes, salt and freshly ground pepper.
